German Culture Culture is the norms that are socially accepted by a society within a territory. Horton and Hunt defined culture as “everything which is socially shared and learned by the members of a society”. The five characteristics that define and make up Culture are learned, social, shared, transmitted and accumulative (Farooq, 2011). Understanding a region’s cultural characteristics can assist when traveling to another region to avoid disrespecting the locals. Germany has a very…

whether you are male or female, whether you are the CEO of a company or a part- time worker in KFC, you all will be treated in the same manner. Would such a world not be the dream that everyone is achieving for? A man born into a wealthy family named Karl Marx specifically proposed the idea of communism, which exactly illustrates this concept of egalitarianism and common ownership of property. He soon became known as the Father of Communism, and was then lauded by the public for his magnificent…

Socl 3013: Sociology of Work Estranged Labour with in contemporary forms of work Karl Marx’s study of estranged labour plays a vital part in understanding today’s contemporary work place. The notion of estranged labour is the separation of labourers or workers from the products of their labor as well as the labor process, their fellow works and from their bodies and human potential.

However, some political scientists and philosophers are convinced that the famous "Republic" of Plato and "Utopia" by Thomas More are the very first models of communist society. Communist…

In 1992, Mikhail Gorbachev allegedly said “Jesus was the first socialist, the first to seek a better life for mankind.”1 Indeed, the goals of Pope Francis’s green encyclical and the core ideas of Marxism do seem to overlap. However, these connections are purely superficial. Upon further inspection, fundamental theory of Marxism differs socially, ideologically and economically from Pope’s ideas, making it impossible to assume any form of parallel between these two. First, the major purpose of…

Inspired by the class revolt in France, the economic crisis of 1846-1847, and the industrial revolution, central Europe, including the nations of Germany and Austria, erupted in heated revolutions seeking equality/reform from their respective governments in February 1848. By March 1848, the German Confederation saw an uprising in the Urban and Rural Popular classes as a result of the “political powder keg” of Neo-Feudal regimes, the new political force of nationalism, and the alliance of middle…
